Gets the dub with the kamehameha

Man there’s such a weird overlap between the “end the stigma towards men’s mental health” crowd and the “haha men’s feelings don’t matter” crowd

Your entire premise is wrong.

‘We’ being the nation.

Well, now we know what the next GOP talking point is going to be:

Ah yes, more folks are working and have a bit more money than they have in 30+ years so now inflation is our fault. Not the price gouging and stock buy backs, or the PPP loan forgiveness, it’s the regular folks who’ve been scraping by for decades.

Free-to-play games are INFINITELY good. Finally some recognition for Diablo Immortal /s

This is amazing. Great stuff John!

I didn’t even realize Netflix HAD games haha. Maybe just because I tend to watch their content on a console. I’m honestly shocked there is a mobile port of Into the Breach on Android I didn’t even hear about. I’ve been hoping for them to port their other great, FTL, for years (I preferred it on my ancient gen 2 iPad…

It’s the atrocious quippy Marvelesque writing that has permeated pop culture, showcased in this trailer,

bravo

Yeah like i get that they wanna make money but if I were king of videogames I would just have them keep loot boxes and remove the option to pay for them at all.

A lot of the hate here is because it’s “phone games” and “real gamers” don’t play those. It’s funny because the responses are all “I use my PHONE for important things like reading BOOKS or using SOCIAL MEDIA”.

I would be happy about this if not for the obvious alternative. Loot boxes suck but I’d take Overwatch’s boxes over pay-gated skins any day of the week. At least with the loot boxes I was earning them by doing something (usually) fun; playing the game. I’m not paying money for skins so it’s all vanilla for me, I guess.

Same. I’ve unlocked the vast majority of cosmetics without spending any money (besides the Pink Mercy charity skin).

I’d prefer loot boxes and possibly getting the thing I want without paying vs having to pay $20 for a skin and having no other possibility

Yeah the friendly drip of free boxes was OK with me (although I definitely hear players who just want to buy a la carte their preferences). Especially on Double XP stretches, you could rack up a lot of free boxes in a short amount of time.

Same, as far as loot box mechanics go, I thought Overwatch’s model was much more agreeable than both many that came after and the many MMO gachapons that preceded it. Having a guaranteed box every time you leveled up, which as a so so casual player only took about 2 hours, was pretty nice and that’s on top of the 3…

I would rather just have specific goals to work towards to unlock skins like we used to and not have to worry about random chance
